Hello,

I got a problem while testing import Ubuntu image.

I am using version 5.4.6 with reference to URL  
[https://docs.opennebula.org/5.4/operation/vm\_setup/add\_content.html](https://docs.opennebula.org/5.4/operation/vm_setup/add_content.html)

Following is my steps for re-procduce.

**Test - Ubuntu**

_Step 1: Download image from_  
[https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04/release-20180126/ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img](https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/16.04/release-20180126/ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img)

_Step 2: Convert qcow2 format once_

> qemu-img convert -O qcow2 ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img ubuntu164.qcow2

\_Step 3: import packages.iso and script.sh prepared

> qemu-img create -f qcow2 -b ubuntu-16.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img ubuntu164-1st.qcow2

_Step 3: Import qcow2 image via Sunstone GUI with parameters_

DRIVER - qcow2  
FORMAT - qcow2

_Step 4:_  
Set up VM templates as usual. Choose OS Image as a first boot device

_Step 5:_  
Create VM as usual.

Results: Boot up screen like below and cannot continue boot up.
